VR NOIR

VR Noir is a ground-breaking, interactive film created for virtual reality. Audiences are invited to play the role of detective Veronica Coltrane, a burnt out private detective with mounting debts and a dark past. Throughout the investigation, audiences will be caught up in a high stakes drama, compelled to engage with local characters and virtual environments, forced to make difficult choices, solve puzzles and using their powers of observation to propel the storyline forward…

Pioneering new 360° and stereographic filming techniques and post production processes, the virtual reality project was a co-production between AFTRS, FSM and Start VR (with development support from Screen NSW). A combination of new 360° capture methods, stereo computer generated imagery, live action and video game in-engine techniques, makes VR Noir a radically different and exciting form of entertainment, setting a new standard for interactive storytelling in virtual reality.
